This seminar covers actual case studies from Oregon courtrooms about firearms, weapons and self defense issues. You will learn not only how to avoid the mistakes of those who have gone before you but also how these cases are handled in the various Oregon counties. This seminar explores the issues one faces when charged with weapons and firearm offenses and other self-defense cases. You will learn that no matter how right you may be or how righteous your actions are at the scene of an event involving self defense and/or a firearm – you still may end up in a courtroom, trying to defend yourself against serious misdemeanors and felonies. This seminar will instruct you on how to understand and assess a situation for the use of self defense and even deadly force measures. You will be instructed about the issues that may arise before, during and after events involving firearms, weapons and self defense matters. It also covers the unique issues that occur with such events and how to prepare for your legal self defense.

If you know the issues and problems that arise in these incidents and thoroughly prepare yourself, you will be equipped to deal with the serious consequences you may face and the crucial repercussions that could haunt you for the rest of your life if you are not prepared for the legal ramifications.

“One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is believing they will never be in a position to be facing these issues and the second biggest mistake is thinking that being innocent will protect someone and the third biggest mistake is not being prepared!”

– Debbe von Blumenstein, Oregon Attorney and Seminar Presenter

Think you don’t need to know any of this?

About Your Presenter, DEBBE von BLUMENSTEIN

Debbe von Blumenstein, B.A., J.D. is an Oregon trial attorney who has practiced in courtrooms throughout Oregon covering twelve different counties and a multitude of municipalities.

Boldly, Miss von Blumenstein asks her clients that even if you have protected your life and the life of your loved ones, and survived that battle, are you prepared for the battle for your liberty that may take place next in court? She reminds us that: “There is a reason why they send us to law school and not to justice school because at any time you may find yourself in a position where justice seems a far cry away.”She adds: “Liberty is not a loophole!”
